"Leave now!" Merlin shouted.
Margaret nodded briefly, then ran to the right with all her might.
The burly man was taken aback.
"After her!" he shouted.
One of his men immediately turned and pursued her. Due to the obvious difference in physical ability, Margaret was quickly overtaken.
But suddenly—
Whoosh!
A flash of shadow appeared. It was Merlin. He spun through the air and kicked the man squarely in the chest.
Bang!
The man's body flew five meters before crashing into the bushes.
"Argh..." he groaned, clutching his chest. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his vision blurred.
The sight left the burly man and his comrades stunned.
'This kid is no ordinary opponent,' the burly man muttered, narrowing his eyes.
He had known Merlin belonged to a group with special powers, but he had thought the boy was easy to handle. What he hadn't expected was that Merlin's mana control was already so advanced.
